    Told the GM that’s leaving that I can’t keep up anymore. He said I should make a task list and present it to my manager.

    Let’s see if they’ll be reasonable or not.

      Document! clockify is a good app with a free level that lets you break up and track work. Even a week or two of that broken into projecta/projectb/ admin/staff management/adhoc queries etc is enough to give you something to point to and ask how to change things. Or if you are asked to do something you can point to it and ask which thing should slide.

      (I mean this is totally a do as I say not as I do situation!!)

        Thanks for the heads up!

        I’ve got an excel sheet going, and so far I’ve got about 50% of things I need to complete asap.

        It’s sitting at 30 hours not including my day to day work.

        And that’s only half so far lol

        Do you mean the 2% company wide raise?

        Yeah I think that hurt some people really badly. Everything was fine for me until:

        1. I was approved for leave
        2. people started leaving

        If I hadn’t taken leave, I wouldn’t be so far behind, but it was approved. That’s the bit that’s annoying me. Why wasn’t someone keeping track of my clients while I was away?

        I’ll probably end up staying until I get probation in January as it’s proving difficult to get a role right now.

        At least then I’ve got security while I look elsewhere.

    fucken’ hell, saw a guy on the tram in the seat across from get out his meth pipe and fill it up. His gf was already pretty manic and jumping around the tram.

    How do people lose sight of what is acceptable and what is not? 😣

    I hope don’t jinx myself with this.

    This morning I had more little meetings voicing my concerns and problems and my mental state and initially they decided that they’d assign extra staff to aid me at the end of the day,

    It’s now been decided that the problem I’ve been having at work has escalated enough now after a serious meeting today that the person will not be able to use the service that I look after and therefore will not be interacting with me at the end of the day.

    If that is true and holds true for the rest of the work year I’m really relieved finally, it may not stop everything but it will certainly mean I don’t end the day feeling super crappy and stressed about everything.

    One thing at a time but at least that’s a load taken off me from a work perspective.

    Edit: And thank you everyone here for your support and warm words of encouragement.

    Hate getting public transport late at night. Train from Collingwood to city, then train home from Flinders didn’t line up, 20 minute wait. Then another 12 minute delay on top of that. Feels like I went in a voyage to get home.

    Travelling at peak - no problem. Outside of peak, not fun if you need to catch more than one mode of transport.

    Holy shit I had some weeeeeird dreams… calling Gina Rnehart about a rotted out power pole that I pushed over indoors at the Northcote Automotive Museum (?? It had a network of indoor roads…), having a tooth rot out (my dental hygiene is bad tbh), and @Force_majeure123 appeared out of nowhere with a comment saying everything’s going to be alright 😭

    I have a task in my change this afternoon to execute a release pipeline called “Order 66”. The task has been worded as “Execute order 66”.

    None of my colleagues thinks this is funny. 😞

    That’s a wrap on a really intense work week. Who thought taking 4 hours off last week would be so hard to make up over 3 days. Some weeks are cruisey but it feels like I’ve done a week’s worth in 3 days. And then I’ve got to get cracking on uni tomoz. Have dinner at a friend’s and no time or energy to make anything. Then dinner out with another friend Friday. I hope to be able to get everything unpacked over the weekend and just blob out a bit. I sure will tonight after seeing the psych.

        He’s watered in the rain holding an umbrella before. Granted, he was watering his plants which are under trees, but still.

        I wouldn’t it put it past him to put waders on and get the hose out.

        His other hobby is ‘tinkering’ in the garage. Always involves loud power tools and achieves nothing to my knowledge.
